About Me

Me & Leroy

Thanks so much for stopping by! I’m Lane, and I love Georgia History and old houses. I’ve got deep roots in Georgia, with family here since the late 1700s. This site is where I chronicle some of the old homes and small towns that I visit throughout the state of Georgia. There’s so much here in Georgia to visit, I will be at this for quite a while! You’ll see all kinds of houses and learn a little about the people who lived there. After all, a house is all about the people who inhabit it!

I’m often asked how I got into this. Well, it’s been a hobby for years – and after retiring as a sales and marketing executive in the wireless phone business, I decided to spend more of my time writing about the interesting places I see throughout the state.

Checking out old homes is fun and I want to share them with you. And some of the other cool spots I just happen upon (sometimes way off the beaten path). My faithful sidekick, Leroy, makes a few road trips with me. Thanks for joining us! We’d love to hear from you and find out about homes to feature on the site: lane@oldgeorgiahomes.com

Your pictures of our home on the Christmas tour in Washington were great. As the owner of this home we enjoy sharing our home with others who also appreciate these fine old homes. We have recently restored another beautiful old home on Robert Toombs Ave (224 ERT). If you are traveling through Washington we would be proud to show it to you. Again great pictures and write-up.

I am obsessed with architecture myself. Georgia has so many confectionery delights. We truly are kindred spirits! I am a docent and board member at http://www.Sagtikosmanor.org. It’s my little piece of historical paradise. Love your photos and covet each and every house you photograph. Thank you for sharing your vision with this Vintage Girl in NY.

I live in Machen, Georgia in Jasper County, Georgia! There are many ante Bellamy beauties here that you have missed!! Would love for you to come visit here and add these to your collection!! I live in one of them!! My great great grandmothers home and my neighbor also lives in his family home!! How unusual to have the same families still neighbors over 200 years later!!!
